About this audiobook
Encounters With Men is a searching memoir as only Bob Ostertag could tell it. In these pages are a lifetime of intimacies and distances, moments with fathers and teachers, friends and lovers, soldiers, cops, and criminals— even one of the great mass murderers of the late twentieth century.
Bob Ostertag writes of the men he has known in stories shot through with deep love and deep violence, sex often at the core. Here, we encounter the worst of the AIDS epidemic and the best of human behavior. Fittingly, the final encounter occurs exclusively online, a stark yet compelling portrait of the new sex work in the digital age.
Like encounters with bears, except with men.
